Second biggest beast in the park right now, as far as I know. We'll be seeing a lot more of him next month but right now he's still hanging back and hiding out.
The Queen's Beasts are ten heraldic statues depicting the genealogy of Queen Elizabeth II. They were commissioned by the British Ministry of Works to stand in front of the temporary annex to Westminster Abbey for the Queen's coronation in 1953. The beasts are: the lion of England, the griffin of Edward III, the falcon of the Plantagenets, the black bull of Clarence, the yale of Beaufort, the white lion of Mortimer, the White Greyhound of Richmond, the red dragon of Wales, the unicorn of Scotland, and the white horse of Hanover. After going from Westminster Abbey to Hampton Court then Windsor Castle, the originals are now in a museum in Canada. In 1958 Sir Henry Ross, the chairman of the Distillers Company, Edinburgh paid for these portland stone replicas to be made and displayed here, outside the Palm House.
